Even owning much newer, "better" and faster kit, I've spent a lot of time on Starboard 1st gen race wings lately and for riding around, they still do very well. I usually use them on launches where the chance of dinging a wing on a rock, etc is higher than normal. Stuff certainly has gotten more refined in the last few years but five year old gear still offers a lot of bang for the buck.

Great video - captures the feeling of using every shape on the water to play on. Nice warm up for my session later today.

Great work as always. Maestro!
Bought the kit in April 2020 and you are right it does still have the original footstraps!
I wonder if anyone has a 105 sitting unloved in their garage somewhere
Slingshot were definitely ahead of the game back then.

Some say the 105 was the magic board I know a guy that still uses it as his daily driver and another guy that has one in a storage locker he's a winger now. I still have a 65 infinity sitting on a shelf in my shop if any US based riders want it just cover shipping and it's yours.

Epic film Gentlemen!
JJ, Nice uphaul and Brillant filming/edit! Love the light, sound and vibe!
Mark you are absolutely sending it!
It's the dedication of the sailors that gets results like this; the gear is secondary or a result of the dedication.
